Seems like you guys also know each other in real life,
Why dont you just grap a cup of coffee or tea and talk things out other than exchanging hostilities on gokunming. Would be nice in future if the threads wouldnt always go off the topic ;-)
Remember Sammy26?. He is still active, but on gochengdoo. Apparently he is in China now :-DD
"looking for a gf with marriage potential
hi everyone.
I'm here to find a Chinese girlfriend for serious long-term relationship.
I live in Guangxi Guilin so you should be ready to relocate here in the nearest future (next couple of months) to live with me for at least a year so that we could see if we really match and can marry. After that year I could consider relocating elsewhere or we could stay in Guilin.
I am white, tall, handsome, but a little lonely. I'm 28.
It doesn't really matter how you look like or how old you are, what matter to me is your personality, temper and attitude. You should be easy going, submissive, loyal, caring and tolerant. Ideally you are a virgin, but it's ok if you are not. Please speak English cause my Chinese is limited.
If you are interested, reply me with a photo and a self-introduction and let's see how it goes. My email: roman.samm07@yahoo.com"
If you post the ad in English, you can be sure that only Chinese English teachers who can really read and understand English reply.
Even if they dont have psychological follow ups, there are also health risks depending on whether the procedure is performed safely or unsafely and at what stage the pregnancy is. An abortion can also lead to miscarriage, preterm birth and stillbirth in future pregnancies.
So, I wonder what those girls with multiple abortions tell their future husbands and parents, why they cant have a baby...
Appareantly due to a lack of sexual education, they are probably not even aware of those risks...
@Alien: Im not overstating anything.
Maybe you should just read these two articles:
world.time.com/[...]
Every year 13 million abortions are conducted in China (the abortion rate is well above global average). These figures were released by the Chinese government. Also:
"The Chinese statistics, published last week, only account for surgical procedures conducted at licensed hospitals and clinics, and don't take account medically induced abortions or procedures conducted at the unlicensed clinics seen in poorer parts of the country."
And
"Almost half of the reported procedures were conducted on women below the age of 25, the majority of whom were university students. Recent surveys have shown a surprising lack of awareness about basic sexual health among China's youth. A survey published by the China World Contraception Day Organization showed that more than 68% of Chinese women were confused about the difference between oral contraceptives and the morning-after pill. Just 1.2% of Chinese women take oral contraceptives, compared with 30% to 50% of women in some developed countries."
"Fewer than ten per cent of sexually active couples regularly use condoms, according to the state-run Science and Technology Research Institute."
There are even student discounts at some clinics here in Kunming.
No results found.
havent been there in months, because I wasnt too impressed. but some friends and I thought we should give it a try again.
This was definitely the last time we went there... very unfriendly staff who dont pay any attention and the owner asking you whether you cant squeeze in the last slice of pizza when she cleared the table...
About the pizza, very oily and low quality products used for making it
Kunming launches first sightseeing bus
Posted by@Alien: I was referring to fuel powered vehicles.
Kunming launches first sightseeing bus
Posted byIf I hadnt seen the bus today, one would think it's a joke. There is no need for a sight seeingbus. You need sights in order to have a sightseeing bus. Polluted lakes, construction sites, 'a village of tents' where builders sleep and the 2nd ring road are no sights. In cities like London and Paris it makes sense, because you can take photos of the Eiffel tower and Big Ben and so on. But here you cant see anything of the sights while sitting on the bus.
But this will only create more, definitely not needed, pollution when driving around all day long. I mean Higer is a Chinese brand. That means outdated, non environmental friendly technology. The red ribbon and the fancy colour dont help. The money the government spent on it could be better used for other things.
Kunming opens province's first 'baby refuge'
Posted by@ Ocean: Just have a look on the Law of the People's Republic of China on Maternal and Infant Health Care, "Chapter II Pre-marital Health Care"
" Article 8 Pre-marital medical examination shall include the examination of the following diseases: genetic diseases of a serious nature; target infectious diseases; and relevant mental diseases."
It's not definite and leaves too much room for interpretation. So it can also apply for colour blind people, people with learning difficulties, people with big moles or large port-wine staines or any other kind of "diseases" that could be passed on the offspring. Doesnt matter whether it's actually from the medical point of view (Western standarts) hereditary or not.
And "Article 16 If a physician detects or suspects that a married couple in their child-bearing age suffer from genetic disease of a serious nature, the physician shall give them medical advice, according to which the said couple shall take corresponding measures." (abortion/sterilization)

Anyway, there are a lot of good reasons to leave the baby in the 'baby refuge'. Most of them doesnt have anything to do with whether you want to be a mother or not.
Kunming opens province's first 'baby refuge'
Posted byIt seems most people dont know anything about single mothers in China.
Here are two good article that sum it up:

On top, without marriage certificate technically you are not allowed to have children. They have to pay huge fines on an annual basis, the child doesnt get a hukou. It was even big on the news the other day. A mother in Hubei couldnt afford to pay the fines and the father was unwilling to marry her, so the 8 year old girl is still not able to go to school and so on.
Besides, the marriage law says:
"Article 6 No marriage may be contracted before the man has reached 22 years of age and the woman 20 years of age."
"Article 7 No marriage may be contracted under any of the following circumstances:
(2) if the man or the woman is suffering from any disease which is regarded by medical science as rending a person unfit for marriage."
Besides, the Chinese government offers a little financial bonus for every woman who gets sterilized after her 1st child.
